I think it would not hurt me a bit to see the movie late tonight.
I'm housing 3 volunteers for Obama - I think they may well join me in kicking back after a hard day.

1. yes. we watch it every year since the movie came out.

2. In honor of Guy Fawkes Day, Anonymous has hacked

NBC News, Lady Gaga, and Paypal -- reportedly putting 28,000 Paypal passwords online.

3. there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there?

I am still surprised with the Occupy movement and the Guy Fawkes masks...

no one ever though to do what V did and take over the TV stations, the root of all propaganda and evil.

I'm hoping that we still will, at some point, focus our efforts on the propaganda being put on our public airwaves, brazenly lying to millions.

WE should be surrounding the stations in mass (and Congress) telling them we will no longer accept their shilling/ruling for the 1%

6. Deplorably:

Limbaugh is not off the air - especially at the Armed Forces Radio

Fox is unchallenged (except by us) I agree we should march on them, if not now, when?

The justice department has not launched a concerted effort against voter fraud

and above all despicably, Bush and Cheney et al are all free and unfettered.

What a country.
I chose it and I love it so. That's why I keep fighting.

5. Please to remember

The fifth of November
Gunpowder treason and plot.
There is no reason
That gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.

7. Yep.

8. I work with English guys and they are all about Guy Fawkes day...

And we were talking not an hour ago about how that film has crossed all borders around the world where people are up in arms, some literally. I have seen that mask in many, many news photos since the film came out. It has become almost part of any and all protest movements.

I hope that the three volunteers you are housing help put our President over the top in NC... Winning there will be the cherry on top of the cherry on top but will help us push back on the coming "Obama stole the election" and other BS from the WingNuts. Thanks for helping!!!

9. Sorry to rain on the parade, but (I have to since that "V" thing turns bad here)...

Quebec high school closed following online threats
Global News : Monday, November 05, 2012 9:16 AM

MONTREAL - As a precautionary measure, authorities decided to close a Montreal-area high school Monday due to online threats.

In conjunction with police, the Polyvalente Marcel-Landry at 365 Landry Avenue in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu closed its doors and sent students home on Monday morning.

The decision was taken after the school was painted in late October with several graffiti warnings that read "November 5" - a reference to the film V for VEndetta and the commemoration of Guy Fawkes night.

Students have since reported that threats of a possible shooting were posted on the Internet over the weekend, police confirmed.

The whole thing is getting out-of-hand (as usual) and it's sad.
